This rule is used to set up a Custom defined rule that executes based on a scheduled time and date. When the Scheduled rule is true (that is, the date and time defined in the schedule is reached, or the interval time is reached), the associated Custom rule is evaluated; if that Custom rule evaluates to true, then the assigned actions are executed.
To configure a Custom scheduled rule in the Configuration application, you first need to create the Java class for that rule. For more information, contact customer support at Axeda Corporation.
From this page you can configure or modify the Scheduled rule defined for the selected assets, asset groups, and models.
1. In the Class field, type the name of the Java Class created for the rule. This class name is required.
Note: Programmers at your site need to implement the rule interface for the Scheduled rule. The rule interfaces are included in com.axeda.drm.sdk.rules. Once the custom rules have been created, copied to the appropriate location, and defined in the custom-rules.xml file on the Platform, this page presents the list of supported custom rules defined in the custom-rules.xml file. Programmers should refer to the Axeda® Connected Product Management Applications SDK documentation for more information.
2. In the Function field, type the name of the method in the associated Java Class that contains the information for the rule.
3. In the Parameters field, type the parameters (separated by commas) to pass for the method.
4. If the rule will present a form requesting user input, type the name of the file containing the form in the Setup page field.
5. If this
rule's actions should be executed every time the rule evaluates to true,
then select Consecutive.
If Consecutive is not selected,
the actions are executed upon the first evaluation to true and are not
executed again until the rule evaluates to false and then true again.
The next Configure scheduled rule page appears.
